Using true and false in C

Question

As far as I can see there are 3 ways to use booleans in c

1. with the bool type, from then using true and false
2. defining using preprocessor #defin

Answer 1

I would go for 1. I haven't met incompatibility with it and is more natural. But, I think that it is a part of C++ not C standard. I think that with dirty hacking with defines or your third option - won't gain any performance, but only pain maintaining the code.
